XJ12 S1 Front Brake Calipers 3 Pot

Postby richardpierce » Mon Dec 09, 2013 8:29 pm

I'm looking for a pair of V12 3 pot front brake calipers any condition as long as I can get the pistons out (which I can't on mine!)

Any help always appreciated

Can collect no problem

Hello Richard,

have you tried a grease gun to remove the pistons? It needs a bolt drilling to accept a grease nipple which is then screwed into the calliper. I found it worked well for badly seized pistons. I have also heard of just using the car's hydraulics to move them, although I think a grease gun has higher pressure.
